Scotland's Population 2012: The Registrar General's Annual Review of Demographic Trends 158th Edition

Footnotes

1) State pension age was 65 for men, 60 for women until 2010; between 2010 and 2020 state pension age for women rises to 65. Between 2024 and 2026 the pensionable age for both men and women increases to 66 and changes again, in two further steps, to 68 by 2046. The definition of state pension was correct as at publication date: October 2011. It does not include subsequent changes in state pension age due to new legislation.

2) The Eurostat projections of population in selected European countries are not directly comparable to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) projections of population in the countries of the UK. The Eurostat projections are based on estimates of the population at 1 January while the ONS projections are based on estimates of the population at 30 June. The methodologies in determining the underlying fertility, mortality and migration assumptions also differ.

3) Refer to �Appendix 2 � Notes, definitions and quality of statistics� for definition of EU-15, EU-27 and CEECs.

4) Glasgow CHPs are based on five Community Health and Care Partnerships which existed before the new single CHP was set up on 22 March 2011.

5) Minority ethnic groups do not include Gypsies / Travellers, as there was a separate tick box under the �White� category for this ethnic group in 2011.

6) This comparison is available in the reconciliation report within the Households section of the NRS website.

7) 2010 is the first year of the latest household projections. The total number of households in this year is based on household estimates using Council Tax data for 2010, however the number of households in each household type are based on projections of 1991 and 2001 Census data.
